The proposed Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 245, Taxation in Connection with Authorizine Exemptions from School District Taxes for Veterans" reads as follows: LOCAL LAW NO. 2014 A Local Law entitled, "A Local Law in relation to Amendments to Chapter 245, Taxation in Connection with Authorizine Exemptions from School District Taxes for Veterans" BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Southold as follows: 1. Purpose. The New York State Legislature has amended the New York State Real Property Tax Law to authorize School Districts to permit a tax exemption for Veterans upon approval of the School District. It is the intent of this local law to incorporate this Amendment into the Southold Town Code so that it is consistent with the New York State Real Property Tax Law. II. Chapter 245 of the Code of the Town of Southold is hereby amended as follows: Veteran's Exemption Public Hearing February 25, 2014 2 4245-16. Exemption granted to Veterans and Gold Star Parents. F. The exemption allowable under this Article may be extended to taxation of School Districts if the governing body of the School District in which the property is located adopts a resolution providing such exemption as provided in Section 458-9(2)(d)(i). Any such resolution shall be provided to the Town of Southold Assessor's Office on or before March I for the assessment roll issued within that year. III. SEVERABILITY If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of this Local Law shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the judgment shall not affect the validity of this law as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so decided to be unconstitutional or invalid. IV. APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTIVE DATE This Local Law shall apply to assessment rolls prepared on the basis of taxable status dates occurring on or after January 1, 2014. This Local Law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State as provided by law. I do have before me signed by Linda Cooper an affidavit of posting on the Town Clerk's bulletin board and I also have an affidavit of publication in the Suffolk Times newspaper. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anyone like to address the Town Board on this particular local law? ART TILLMAN: Yes, regarding this issue. Many of us were, I guess they are calling us cold war warriors, in that we did not serve in a combat area but when you were in the military in those days, it was a real crapshoot and you don't know whether you are going or you are not going. I didn't go, fortunately, but I did put my three years in and most people in those days put in two or three years, some four. When we got out, many of us, in my particular instance, I became a teacher. For the rest of my career, I was years behind in the salary schedule as you know, the steps, so every year you teach. You get more money and more money. Those of us that were veterans, most of us started late. And so I was two or three years behind everybody else on the pay scale because I choose to go into the service as a volunteer. Many others were drafted. Also, I noticed when I got into teaching, very few of us were veterans. Because in those days, to get out of the military if you became a teacher or if you got married like some guys did or you stayed in school perpetually, you got out. That's why I say, it was a real crapshoot. But for the rest of our lives, those that went in never kept pace. The pay scale, particularly in public service. So speaking on behalf of myself and others in my situation, I think this is a good idea. Thank you. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Anyone else? LEROY HEYLIGER: My name is Leroy Heyliger and I live in Mattituck. In regards to this, there was an article in the Suffolk Times a couple of weeks ago where the school board district Veteran's Exemption Public Hearing February 25, 2014 3 supervisor stated that the exemption for her district, how much it would cost to the taxpayers and she said that, she made a statement that it isn't clear whether Vietnam veterans would be included in this exemption and I took exception to that and I am wondering if her district is going to include Vietnam veterans in her appeal for this tax exemption. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: There is no distinction in New York State real property tax law that would distinguish from veterans of any war. There are basically two types of veteran's exemptions. One is called eligible funds, one is called alternatives vet's exemptions. That just has more to do with the date you applied than the war that you served in. Also, I don't think she has the discretion of excluding nor does she, by that comment, have the intention of excluding Vietnam vets. I think she was speaking more to the legislation that passed as to whether the alternative fund exemption which more Vietnam vets tend to get would be or included as part of that legislation. I think question can be answered by Kevin Webster, who is sitting right behind you. Kevin, do they include eligible funds and alternative vet's in the new legislation? KEVIN WEBSTER, SOUTHOLD TOWN ASSESSOR: Yes. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Okay. So if a school opts in, ultimately it is the authority of the school to decide whether they want to extend the exemption to a veteran or not, under this new law. When they, if they decide to include themselves in the exemption, it would be all veteran's receive an exemption. Did I mis-speak, Kevin, or is that alright? MR. WEBSTER: No, that is correct. SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Guess I should have asked you before I talked. Would anybody else like to address this particular local law? (No response) This hearing was closed at 4:55 PM ~ Elizdboth A.
